Again at the Murphy Complex fire, this shot took some teasing to get the colours out, a lot of saturation, selective colours. This was because i was about 10 miles on the wrong side of the mountain, this was the inversion layer/

I had some pretty good shots of this fire and it has been the only time these last 2 months that I have picked up the camera. Life has been crazy!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments

You're on a roll. Congratulations :) Now that you've got a wonderful series(I'd think it usually takes at least three pics). Time to print them out and hang them pics!
